CAE crash analysis of structures in oblique loading
thesis
posted on 2009-01-01, 00:00 authored by Paul CollinsThis work focussed on how tubular steel structures similar to that in frontal car frames deform under crash conditions. The novelty comes from finding three crash modes: axial crush, transitional and global bending. Each mode was categorised by reaction force and energy absorption, this allowing for better structural design practices.
